Replacing Every Thru Hull on Our Sailboat (DIY Boatyard Refit) - TRUDesign

Life on a sailboat means learning how to fix things yourself… sometimes the hard way. In this episode of Stella Overboard, we haul our 39-foot sailboat Stella out of the water in Langkawi, Malaysia and take on one of the most important upgrades a boat owner can do — replacing every thru hull fitting and seacock on the boat. Old thru hulls can be a major safety risk offshore, so while Stella is on the hard stand we decided it was time to upgrade the entire system. With the help of Marine Supplies Asia and TruDesign, Jesse and I tackle the job ourselves — removing old fittings, installing brand new TruDesign composite thru hulls and seacocks, and learning a lot along the way. No boatyard crew. No professionals. Just two sailors figuring it out as we go. This refit is all part of preparing Stella for our next big adventure sailing through Indonesia in search of remote islands and surf breaks. If you're curious about sailboat maintenance, thru hull installations, or what life in a boatyard is really like — this episode is for you. ⚓ Boat: Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i 📍 Filmed in Langkawi, Malaysia Big thanks to: Marine Supplies Asia TruDesign 💙 A huge thank you to everyone supporting us on Patreon — you truly help make this sailboat life possible.
